Announcing our new MODA; Fellowship
Chief Rebel and Arc Games are excited to announce Fellowship, the first-ever multiplayer online dungeon adventure (“MODA”) game. With Fellowship, it will take fan-favorite elements of MMOs, MOBAs and ARPGs, including thrilling endgame dungeon runs, a diverse roster of heroes, cooperative, team-focused gameplay and epic loot, to give players a truly unique and challenging yet accessible PvE dungeon crawling experience. Fellowship will be a premium, not free-to-play or subscription-based title and is set to launch on PC in 2025.
Fellowship’s most unique feature that will set it apart is how it streamlines the dungeon running experience and how players can take part in endlessly scaling dungeon runs. Instead of grinding and spending hours to be able to access and go on endgame-like dungeon runs, with Fellowship, players can dive right into these type of dungeon runs from the beginning. Unlike other titles, including MMOs, there’s no barrier of entry at all – whether it’s time commitment-specific or needing to get through a ton of prerequisite content — for being able to jump into endgame dungeons in Fellowship. Both newcomers and seasoned veterans will discover they can get the dungeon experience they want from the start, as they can choose to play Quick Play Dungeons that offer more casual 10-15-minute dungeon runs or Ranked Dungeons that offer a more competitive experience as they allow players to scale the dungeon difficulty to their liking, choose from various dungeon modifiers, and more.
Fellowship will have a Closed Alpha playtest on Steam from Thursday, August 15 to Tuesday, August 20. Chief Rebel is looking for fans of MMOs, MOBAs and ARPGs to join the playtest and provide valuable feedback to help shape the game and be part of its development journey from the very beginning.
“We’re very excited to introduce Fellowship, a passion project that we’ve been working on for a long time since we formed Chief Rebel,” said Axel Lindberg, CEO and Game Director at Chief Rebel. “With Fellowship, we took inspiration from many games that we love to create a dungeon adventure that lets players jump right into the best part of MMOs and ARPGs, end-game dungeons, right from the start with ease. Fellowship will be a constantly evolving adventure and we want players of it from the very beginning, so we can’t wait for players to join us for our Closed Alpha playtest!”
“Fellowship marks the beginning of a new genre that aims to modernize the traditional MMO gameplay experience, making it a potential game changer in our industry,” said Yoon Im, CEO of Arc Games. “We are thrilled to leverage our extensive online multiplayer and MMO expertise to support Chief Rebel on this ambitious new video game. The Closed Alpha test is just the beginning for Fellowship, as we have a lot of incredible content and features to unveil as we look toward a PC launch next year.”
History of Fellowship
Fellowship has been in development since Chief Rebel was established in 2018. The genesis for Fellowship was born from the team playing a slew of MOBAs and coming up with the idea to take the core of what a MOBA is but make it a PvE experience rather than a PvP experience that’s usually found in most MOBAs. Additionally, Chief Rebel also quickly drew inspiration from MMOs and the endgame dungeon experience within MMOs. The team realized that when it comes to endgame dungeons, there’s often several barriers of entry for accessing them, so they wanted to make a game that makes endgame dungeons easily accessible for all players. With the idea of making a PvE MOBA blended with the idea of making endgame dungeons found in MMOs accessible, Chief Rebel came up with Fellowship.
